Dave Matthews must have just been hired on as a game designer at Fantasy Flight, because the newest Netrunner LCG Data Pack is named The Spaces Between. The second expansion in the Lunar Cycle, The Spaces Between lives up to its name by exploring the limbo status of used up events and operations. What after effects do these cards have once they are discarded?

Doesn’t matter what class you play in the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, Paizo has you covered.

This weekend, the publisher is unleashing Class Decks for seven different class types, with each being capable of incorporation into the base Adventure Card Game. The seven class types presented are the Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard. Each deck contains 109 cards that apply to four different archetypes for each class and spells, allies, and weapons to be used with any of them.

Also out for the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game this weekend are the first two card expansions for the Skull and Shackles adventure path. First up, the Character Add-On Deck, like with the base game, supplies three entirely new class types, including Witch, Alchemist, and Warpriest, as well as the cards to expand the game up to six players. Raiders of the Fever Sea is the second expansion, containing 110 cards that introduce five scenarios that progress the adventure, as well as adding loot, monster, location, villain, and ship cards.

While zombie-based content my vary from television to film to comics to board games, there is only one consistent option when you face them down: Run, Fight, or Die. This new board game changes up the growing subgenre of zombie survival board games by pitting each player (1-4) against their own undead horde. Players race around a special game board attempting to collect supplies and survivors while not being bitten or letting too many followers become zombified. Those who outlast the rest with the most life survive to fight another day, while those who don’t shamble away into the darkness.

The pun is so obvious it was only a matter of time before AEG released a Smash Up expansion that used it.

Monster Smash (yup, like monster mash) is the newest expansion for the popular card game where players blend together all sorts of different creatures and character types to form one absurd deck. Included in the expansion are four original factions, each with a movie monster theme to them. The four are Werewolves, Vampires, Mad Scientists, and, of course, Giant Ants. Monster Smash can be played as either a two player game or a four player game, if incorporated into the base Smash Up game.

Many Bothans died to bring you the Rebel AcesStar Wars X-Wing expansion.

Like the Imperial Aces expansion, this set comes with two ship miniatures, an alternate paint job A-Wing and B-Wing, along with four original pilot characters and all the standard maneuver cards, tokens, and upgrade cards. In addition, the set comes with a special mission suited to the skills of both ships.

The Halloween season is upon us and that includes the King of Tokyo.

King of Tokyo: Halloween is another new expansion for the hit monster-battle game. This expansion contains two new monsters, each creepy and Halloween themed, as well as special costume cards that enhance each monster.

If you’ve ever thought that what the hit deception game, Bang!, was missing is vampires, Blood Bound is the game for you!

The Phantom Society is a fresh take on the haunted house game from Asterion Press. Playable from two to four players, the game gives you the option of controlling the ghosts or the ghost hunters, both trapped in an aging hotel. The former group is hellbent on causing destruction and haunting the guests, while the latter what to get famous by trapping some poltergeists. Just don’t play it with the lights off…cause, you know, it’d be hard to see.

Just like in an Indiana Jones movie, just when you think you’re out of the tomb, the floor collapses and you fall into bed of snakes.

Such is the concept behind the new expansion pieces for Escape. If you haven’t heard of this popular Queen Game, it’s a real-time adventurer where every player goes at the same time, attempting to collect as many the tomb’s hidden gems as they can before the clock runs out. Hitting stores after being given out as Kickstarter incentives, The Pit and Doomed are the first expansion pieces for the game. Both provide new tiles which represent additional deadly rooms in the temple. The Pit traps players down a deep hole after they’ve rolled five curses. Doomed provides two new curses and one new tile, all with exciting properties.

The only option is Zombicide.

A co-operative survival game, Zombicide is a catch-22 run amok as players must kill more zombies to earn skill points, but killing zombies only results in more zombies. The other tricky thing is that there will inevitably be more undead than you have bullets, so you’re really going to want to earn up those skill points to buy more ammo and weapons. This popular Kickstarter joins and outpaces many of the other zombie games out there. So, lock and load, folks.

All is fair in love and war. AEG‘s Love Letter is a reality dating show dropped into the Renascence. A group of eligible bachelors compete for the hand of a stunning princess who’s locked herself in the castle’s highest tower. The only way you can lay your flirtatious mojo on her is through alluring prose delivered via letter. Of course, all the other prospective suitors had the same idea, so you will have to find ways of intercepting and destroying their letters. But don’t focus all your attention on the other players as your letters can be turned to ash just as quickly. Start working on those pick-up lines, gentlemen.

The Tome of Blood is at your disposal, Lord Khorne.

The most recent hardcover edition to the Black Crusade line of Warhammer 40K RPG books details every tool you’ll need to praise the Blood God! That includes four new Heretic archetypes, plus all the weapons, armaments, and Daemon Engines to empower them. As another added bonus of pain and suffering, players of any alignment can develop Legacy Weapons and fight in Mass Combats. Along with all this carnage comes new settings like the pits of Kurse, Furia’s savage oceans, Berin and Aspodel, as well as the War Moons of Talax. Pile up those skulls, cause Khorne needs a seat.

Wallenstein is nothing like Frankenstein. Word to the wise.

It is however very much like a good game. This second edition of the game receives a rules touch up as well as the addition of two expansions for the game. As players compete for points by controlling the largest amount of land and real estate, two years pass (don’t worry, in game time only) wherein shortages of food, peasant revolts, and any number of other hardships will beset your kingdom. An interesting randomizing element is used to decide when and where these obstacles hit, that being a tower which you roll tokens down, some of which catch, some of which drop to the bottom. These tokens then decide what happens where. Players also carefully stratagize about how to use the action cards given them in order to obtain the most property.

Competing with Marvel’s Legacy Deck-Building Game, the new DC Deck Building Game lets players control one of seven famous DC characters. That means you can be Batman. Or Wonder Woman. Or Green Lantern. Each hero controls a special ability unique to them, giving them advantages toward certain card types. Those other types include superpowers, heroes, villains, equipment, and locations. During the game, each player vies cards which will assist their deck against the powers of the villains you all are fighting. For instance, you might want to be bulletproof if you’re going up against Deathstroke. Or have super speed if you need to race a bomb out into the ocean. Basically, you get to play the comics you love. Yeah, I’m picking up a copy, too.
